Santa Specials

Step into a traditional winter splendour and make Christmas memories that last a lifetime aboard the Bluebell Railway Santa Special. Join us this festive season as our beautifully restored steam trains whisk you through the Sussex countryside on an unforgettable journey – complete with music, cocoa, and of course, a very special guest from the North Pole!

What’s included:

• A visit with Santa Claus – follow the route to Santa’s Parlour where every child will meet the man himself and receive a gift.
• Traditional steam train ride – Enjoy a nostalgic trip through the frosty countryside aboard one of our vintage carriages. From Sheffield Park to Horsted Keynes and return.
• Harris fun fair – Approximately 1 hour at Horsted Keynes for unlimited rides and games
• Festive treats – chocolate coins for all children.
• Family photo opportunities – Capture the magic with Santa and our beautifully decorated stations.

Whether it’s your baby’s first Christmas or a cherished tradition with the grandchildren, the Santa Special is designed to delight visitors young and old. Bluebell Railway’s authentic charm makes this more than a train ride — it’s a timeless holiday adventure.
